Unable to map 'Status' in issue bulk Import

Question

Hi, I need to import epics into one of my existing projects.

I'm able to perfectly map all CSV fields with epic fields, but I'm unable to map the 'Status' as it does not appear in the list.

Irrespective of the status of an issue in the csv file, the epics are getting imported in 'To-Do' status.

Can anyone please help resolve this challenge?

This is strange as I can see it in my Cloud instance when i try to import the issue from Admin. See below SS under Issue Fields

@Marc -Devoteam-  @Vishal Biyani  I'm the organization admin and have full rights.

i need to import epics into one specific project and I used the status that exists in the workflow linked with the same project.

The problem is, if you my screenshot above, I'm unable to map my csv's 'status' column with the jira field 'Status'. it's not even appearing in the list (please see screenshot).

Need assistance

Hi @Saad Ahmad

This import has to be done by anyone having Jira administrator permissions and the steps mentioned by @Vishal Biyani

Note, if using status on import the status must exist in Jira and be available on the issue type workflow that you are importing.

New statuses can't be created on importing.
